Architecture and fashion are big inspirations for my design work, as well as nature. One plays off of the others. A blank canvas is just that, whether it is an outfit, a room or the outside of a building. The outfit must be finished with accessories like shoes, a handbag and jewelry. The room within a home is finished with fine furnishings of pillows, throws, lighting and drapery. Finally, a building is finished by beautiful landscape that is to scale. Great design is all in the details.

Winner: Barbara Owens, Owens Interiors at Home, Texas
The conceptualization for this wine room was to create an experience for a guest. The home's wine room is just off the kitchen and the client wanted something that would catch a guest's attention. As a nod to the clients' healthcare business, they requested something that referenced the bible verse, First Corinthians 13:13. So the gates entering the wine room read "LOVE HOPE FAITH".

Winner: Kara Karpenske, Kamarron Design, Minnesota
The existing drapery in this grand living space was dated and did not take full advantage of the vertical space; instead, they constricted the natural light and distracted from the view. The new drapery spans nearly 35 feet and draws the eye upward to accentuate the stunning visual height of this living space. Custom tassels and LED lights add drama to this incredible drapery installation.

Reluctant to give up their current homes, homeowners planning to stay in place for the long haul are choosing to spend instead on improvements and updates. Although industry forecasts predict remodeling and renovation activity will slow during the second half of the year, surveys at present show a sizable majority of homeowners have plans to undertake home improvement projects in the coming months.

Interior Design
Design, at its very core, isn't just a collection of pretty pictures and well-functioning spaces — it's the physical manifestation of a brand, its culture and its people, pulled together in a curated approach to make space function well.
Yet our landscape is evolving. Demographics are changing, and the very essence of work has shifted from a place we go to a thing we do.

Healthcare Design
Controlling excessive noise in healthcare environments has long been an industry goal. However, recent design solutions to support competing interests, ranging from aesthetics to efficiency to infection control, may contribute to the noise problem — for example, replacing carpeting with hardwood or tile flooring improves cleanability but also intensifies sounds.

With their superior durability, porcelain stoneware tiles that imitate hardwood floors have become an industry mainstay. However, in the Dimore collection, Emilceramica produces a twist on the genre: faux-bois marquetry. Available in eight geometric patterns, from dizzying Enigma to stately Foglie, each tile comprises four tones that mimic the shades of natural and stained oak.
